Dungeons 4 marks the triumphant return of the series, offering a spectacular Dungeon manager/RTS that will keep players invested for hours. It never felt so good to be bad.
A fine continuation of a successful series, but you can see that the authors are sticking to this theme longer and slowly running out of ideas. The fun is kept up by a good campaign with elements of humour and you might even try out the co-op. This time it's still enough. But the developers might not consider a fifth installment, even though it's their most successful brand, because the fatigue of the material would probably show significantly.

Pros:
- Humour works well, not too overbearing
- Graphics and art style are good
- Streamlined. Very easy to learn.
Cons:
Achievements are 100% campaign based. It would have been more fun if some of the achievements were bigger accomplishments from other game modes in the mix.
Gotta agree with Thalya in that the portals spawning anywhere in the dungeon on certain levels are fairly annoying as they can spawn in a room besides a finitude stone or in your graveyard destroying your undead spawners and voiding the 'no damage' achievement on the finitude stones

Was a ton of fun. My type of humor and addictive gameplay. I burned through this game pretty quick which is rare nowadays. Had some performance issues but they fixed quickly after launch with patch. Played on game pass, otherwise probably wouldn't have bought it, but I think it's worth the purchase price if you like dungeon keeper games.

An iterative entry in the long running series that doesn’t bring much new to the table over the previous game, but is still an enjoyable romp, nonetheless.
Dungeons 4 doesn’t raise the bar for the dungeon-building subgenre, but it’s a delightful fantasy romp that harkens back to less complicated times, and that’s quite valuable on its own.
Dungeons 4 sticks to its guns: slapstick humour, dungeon master vibes and simple gameplay. Nothing more, nothing less.
It is extremely fun to play, funny and strategic at the same time. Not to mention a little bit addictive.
Thanks to some small improvements, the dungeon building part is the best in the series, but aside from that, its pretty much the same experience as in Dungeons 3. Which means the overworld with its RTS-styled combat still feels undercooked and is lacking some real improvements. It's fun (if you can stomach the horrible writing), but it plays more like a big expansion rather than a true sequel.
Really got me addicted. Thedungeon building is a really cool way of doing abse building in an RTS. The micro can be intense and there is a lot going on as the game picks up.
Tons of mechanics with the three different unit factions. Undead, Horde, and demon. Each with their own advantages. Enemies are a bit generic though. Thayla is one of my favorite antagonist super likeable and hot.
Combat is a bit basic but the constant base management makes me glad it is automated. Game is chill on normal and hard on hard as it should be.
